As used in regard to amateur radio licensing, hazing may be considered
to be anything that one thinks he can't do or simply refuses to do.
I simply refuse to work French amateurs out of band.
Do you have a reference of all international band allocations so
that when an Amateur of ANY nationality answers your call, you can
quickly look up that nations's regulations and determine the alidity
of that station's operation?
That's what you're suggesting.
Steve, K4YZ
No, Steve, I'm not suggesting that at all. Notice that I referenced
one country, and that was France. See above. A French amateur
replied to Dave what the French 6 Meter allocations were, and another
ham on here verified the allocations via a French telecom website.
Its really not as hard as you think it is.
I'll try clearing it up for you again, Willie. I am responsible for
operating my station in spectrum assigned to me. I am in no way
responsible for ensuring that other radio amateurs operate where they
are licensed to be. French amateurs, regardless of amateur band, are
responsible for operating where their licenses permit them to be, using
modes permitted them and using power which their licenses permit.
It has been suggested on numerous occasions that you should take the
matter up with the RAEF or the French PTT. I'll now suggest it once
again. March with your banner held high. Write petitions. Lobby the
French government. Make certain that scofflaw French amateurs are taken
to task by their government.
So if you know that Frenchmen are on 6 Meters out of band, do you keep
working them?
You sit there with your charts and graphs in hopes of a 6m opening to
anywhere, ready to maintain order on the band. I'll operate under the
terms of my license and let authorities elsewhere control their amateur
radio licensees.
What if it's a downtown Dar el Salam hazing ritual?
I've seen downtown Dar es Salaam hazing rituals. You couldn't handle
one.
